"Little Wolf?" Gao Yang only dared to peek through a crack in the door. He believed that if Little Wolf saw his full appearance, his attitude towards him would definitely change. "Are you going on a long trip?"
"No, I'm checking out." Little Wolf didn't insist that Gao Yang open the door. "I've thought about it, and I still want to go home."
“Alright.” Gao Yang sighed, sounding as if he regretted that Xiao Lang was going home. “Then you must take good care of yourself when you get back. I don’t have any friends left in the apartment this time.”
"Isn't Wang Qiang from 206 a good guy? He's honest and doesn't have any ulterior motives," Little Wolf said softly.
Gao Yang immediately shook his head: "Forget it, we're not the same kind of people, we can't connect!"
After watching the little wolf leave, Gao Yang seemed to feel much down.
Lu Shi was deeply moved by what he saw.
According to Wei Jin's explanation, each instance they experienced was a game that could be restarted infinitely; it was an illusion.
But everyone here is so real that he often feels that Gao Yang is a real person.
If they are all fake people, then Lu Shi finds it hard to imagine how terrifying the abilities of the person behind this Infinite Wish Game are.
Ye Bugui was thinking that if the players died, their roommates would leave the apartment.
So what exactly is the relationship between these players and their roommates?
Neither he nor Lu Shi has an answer to this question yet.
...
In room 206, Ye Bugui's roommate, Wang Qiang, was the kind of person who would silence his phone and turn off its vibration when studying, then put it on his bedside table to charge and never look at it.
He would only get up and glance at his phone when he got tired of studying.
This time, he picked up his phone, paused for a second, and then dialed the number:
"How come you're broke again?"
"You don't need to pay my tuition, yet you still want me to give you money. I'm working two jobs every day now!"
"Yes, you're my father, I have to take care of you! I'll send you the money tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Qiang could no longer concentrate on his studies.
He lay numbly on the bed and buried his head completely under the covers.
Wang Qiang only pulled his head out of the blanket when he was about to suffocate, and then he breathed heavily.
He thoroughly enjoyed this suffocating game; it was his way of relieving stress.
...
After Gao Yang finished his dress-up game, he put on his headphones and listened to music.
After realizing they had nothing to do, Lu Shi and Ye Bugui both closed their eyes and slept for a while.
When midnight arrived, the two of them woke up as if an alarm clock had been set inside their bodies.
As they expected, Gao Yang fell asleep the instant midnight arrived.
The waiter reappeared in the corridor pushing a cart of late-night snacks.
The aroma seemed even stronger than yesterday, drawing the players' attention. But Ye Bugui knew perfectly well that he was simply hungrier.
If someone were to throw a piece of bread in front of him now, Ye Bugui would definitely eat it without hesitation.
Lu Shi was still not greatly affected. After the initial shock, Lu Shi had become indifferent to the food served by the waiter.
To prevent her appetite from affecting her, Han Baobao even bought a rope from the mall and tied herself to the bed leg.
This trick worked; she no longer had the urge to run over and open the door.
The seven players managed to hold on once again, but hunger still took away 10 to 20 units of their strength.
After the waiter left in a huff, almost everyone got up from under the bed.
Zi Ling's long hair grew rapidly, reaching right up to her roommate's nose, where she could feel his breath.
“No faking sleep, that’s good.” Zi Ling pulled her hair back and then picked up her phone from the bedside table.
After unlocking with facial recognition, Zi Ling couldn't find WeChat on the phone—no, not even a single social media app.
The only thing she could find was a whole page of anime-style mobile games with very similar icons.
Looking at the anime girls who didn't interest her at all, Zi Ling had no choice but to bite the bullet and click on the only game she had ever played, Honor of Kings, that social mobile game.
Then the phone screen shattered, and a hand reached out from inside, grabbed Zi Ling, and knocked her unconscious.
The room quickly returned to calm; the person on the bed was fast asleep, and the cell phone on the floor was flashing.
On the phone screen, a group of blue soldiers are setting off from the base, but one soldier looks out of place.
That's Zi Ling.
...
Room 205.
Ye Bugui, who had just emerged from the ground, was stretching his body vigorously when he whispered in Lu Shi's ear, "Shouldn't we make our move?"
"Wait a minute." Lu Shi walked to the door, also wanting to see the monster wandering in the corridor.
"Come here for a moment." Lu Shi beckoned to Ye Bugui.
Ye Bugui immediately went over, knowing that Lu Shi must have something to say to him.
"Don't you think those monsters outside are moving a little too fast?" Lu Shi asked, looking puzzled.
Based on Ye Bugui's description, Lu Shi thought they would stroll around like old men taking a walk.
But when he looked outside today, these faceless men were walking in a hurry, and the fleshy monsters behind them were also looking around.
It's not quite the same as Ye Bugui's description.
Ye Bugui stood next to Lu Shi and peered through the peephole.
These faceless people are much more impatient than yesterday. They now seem to be searching for something, but are raging in frustration because they can't find it.
“It’s different now.” Ye Bugui frowned; this was definitely not a good thing.
Just then, a faceless figure approached 205. Ye Bugui held his breath, just like yesterday, and moved his face away from the peephole.
Just when he thought the faceless man would walk away quickly as before, the monster on its back let out a sharp cry.
Immediately afterwards, the faceless man crashed into the door.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
It looked like it was about to smash the door open!
A note from the author:
Thank you so much for your support! I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 33
☪ Good Family Apartment 8
The loud bangs were like thunderclaps striking the hearts of every player hiding behind the door.
Although Sherry had no idea what was happening outside...
The loud bangs were like thunderclaps striking the hearts of every player hiding behind the door.
Although Sherry didn't know what had happened outside, she still threw her phone on the ground in fear and ran back to the bed to pray.
She was really worried that the noise would be too loud and end up waking up her roommate.
Even Sherry thought the voice was too loud, so Lu Shi and Ye Bugui, who were facing the Faceless Man directly, naturally couldn't look too good.
Lu Shi immediately turned around and glanced at Gao Yang, but Gao Yang acted as if nothing had happened, hugging him and sleeping soundly on the bed.
His situation made Lu Shi sigh, realizing that going to bed at midnight was indeed mandatory.
I'm afraid that unless they deliberately wake up their roommates, they won't wake up even if the sky falls.
"How can it be so aggressive?" Ye Bugui subconsciously stepped in front of Lu Shi to shield him. Having dealt with pollutants many times, Ye Bugui had become accustomed to protecting others from the elements.
Lu Shi was somewhat surprised. Over the years, he had encountered many dangers, and in the end, he had faced them all alone.
Now, Ye Bugui had taken the initiative to stand in front of him, which surprised and touched Lu Shi.
However, he still walked up behind Ye Bugui and said with great confidence:
“Didn’t you say that the Faceless Men outside aren’t that strong? If it really manages to break in, with the two of us combined, we can definitely deal with it. If all the Faceless Men outside rush in, I have a plan too.”
Ye Bugui chuckled. He certainly believed that Lu Shi had the confidence to say that. He had witnessed Lu Shi's full strength, and if there were no restrictions, he suspected that Lu Shi had already subdued that waiter as well.
But Ye Bugui was, after all, a returning player who had cleared the game before. If he needed Lu Shi to protect him in a mere A-level dungeon, how could he possibly have the face to cooperate with Lu Shi in searching for pollutants?
"I can handle that too." Ye Bugui even had his hand on the doorknob. "You don't know what my character card is, do you? I can show you, and maybe even impress the Demon Lord!"
Seeing that Ye Bugui could still joke with him in such a critical moment, Lu Shi believed him.
The faceless man outside was still desperately banging on the door, while Lu Shi and Ye Bugui were chatting idly inside.
Compared to this, Lu Shi suddenly felt somewhat sorry for the Faceless Man who had worked so hard.
Before taking action, Ye Bugui, as usual, took out a game console.
When he scanned the faceless man outside the door, he exclaimed "Oh!" and revealed a look of sudden realization.
Lu Shi immediately leaned over to take a look, and when he saw the introduction about the Faceless Man on the game console, he understood everything.
Last night, the Faceless Man was only level 3, but now it has become level 4.
“They’ve leveled up,” Ye Bugui sneered. This seemingly calm A-rank dungeon always managed to surprise him in various ways. “On the first night, they just wandered around outside. But on the second night, they became more aggressive and more alert. If we peeked at them, they would discover us.”
"By tomorrow night, these faceless men will probably be even more unscrupulous."
Lu Shi glanced at Ye Bugui and immediately asked, "Shouldn't we deal with them right now?"
"Although my initial idea was for everyone to work together to deal with these Faceless Men," Ye Bugui shrugged, "after all, I'm not the kind of person who likes to be free labor. But now it seems that the sooner we deal with them, the better. Who knows if we can handle them when they level up to LV5 tomorrow!"
"I think if they wake up tomorrow and know that we helped them get rid of the Faceless Men outside, they will thank us." Lu Shi put away his relaxed tone. If they really wanted to wipe out all the Faceless Men outside, it would definitely not be an easy task.
